The fight ended not with Sonic’s final blow, but with a sudden, silent impact. A figure of shadow and scarlet landed where the robot had stood, dust swirling around her boots. She was a female hedgehog, a near-perfect echo of Shadow yet distinctly her own. The hum of her limiter rings faded into the sudden quiet. Sonic shot a look of pure annoyance at being upstaged; Amy whooped in glee. Shadow stood utterly still, his green eyes widening in a recognition he hadn’t felt in seven years. The stranger—Gutay—met his gaze, then scanned the torn earth and the faces waiting for an explanation. She wasn’t a copy or a ghost. She was the missing piece he’d stopped looking for, cold and real and finally here.
